Living with eczema means constantly battling dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. Finding the right soap becomes a crucial part of your skincare routine because what you use to cleanse can either soothe or worsen your symptoms. Many commercial soaps contain harsh detergents, artificial fragrances, and sulfates that strip away natural oils — triggering more irritation. That’s where The Wild Nettle Co.’s Eczema Soap for Itchy Skin steps in as a natural, gentle, and effective solution.
Understanding the Problem: Why Regular Soaps Worsen Eczema
Most traditional soaps are made with synthetic ingredients designed for deep cleansing — not for sensitive or eczema-prone skin. These products can disrupt your skin’s protective barrier, leading to dryness, tightness, and more itching. The skin barrier in eczema sufferers is already weakened, so harsh surfactants like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) can make things worse by removing vital lipids and moisture.
Nature’s Answer: The Wild Nettle Co’s Eczema Soap
The Wild Nettle Co. believes nature provides everything your skin needs to heal and stay balanced. Our Eczema Soap for Itchy Skin is carefully handcrafted using gentle, plant-based ingredients and infused with wild nettle extract — a powerful botanical known for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties.
Nettle has been used for centuries to treat skin irritations and allergies. It contains natural antihistamines, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds that help calm redness, reduce itching, and support skin healing. By pairing nettle with deeply moisturising oils, our soap nourishes and protects without aggravating sensitivity.
Key Benefits of The Wild Nettle Co.’s Eczema Soap for Itchy Skin
1. Soothes Itchy and Irritated Skin
Nettle’s rich profile of vitamins A, C, and K, along with minerals like zinc and magnesium, helps ease irritation while supporting your skin’s natural recovery. Combined with the moisturising power of shea butter and olive oil, the soap delivers soothing relief for inflamed, itchy patches.
2. Restores the Skin Barrier
Eczema-prone skin often lacks essential lipids that keep moisture locked in. Our eczema soap gently cleanses while replenishing these natural oils. Olive oil and coconut oil help rebuild the lipid layer, protecting your skin from environmental stressors and reducing flare-ups.
3. Hydrates Deeply with Natural Glycerin
The cold-process method we use at The Wild Nettle Co preserves natural glycerin — a skin-loving humectant that draws water into the skin. This helps keep eczema-affected areas hydrated long after you rinse, preventing that uncomfortable, tight, dry feeling.
4. Free from Harsh Chemicals
No parabens. No sulfates. No artificial fragrances. Our eczema soap is designed with simplicity and purity in mind — because less is truly more when it comes to sensitive skin. Each ingredient is chosen for its skin-friendly properties, ensuring you get the cleansing you need without irritation.
5. Naturally Anti-Inflammatory and Healing
In addition to nettle, our formula includes healing botanicals like aloe vera and chamomile, which calm inflamed skin and promote faster recovery. The soothing, creamy lather cleanses gently while helping reduce redness and flare frequency over time.
The Science Behind Itchy Skin Relief
When your skin’s barrier is compromised, allergens and bacteria can easily enter — triggering an immune response that causes itching. The fatty acids and natural antioxidants in The Wild Nettle Co. soap help restore balance by strengthening the barrier and reducing oxidative stress.
Nettle extract, in particular, helps regulate the body’s histamine response — meaning fewer allergic reactions on the skin. With consistent use, users often notice less irritation and fewer eczema flare-ups, especially in dry or cold weather.
How to Use Eczema Soap for Best Results
- Wet your skin with lukewarm water. Avoid hot water, which can strip natural oils.
- Lather the soap in your hands and gently massage it onto affected areas.
- Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft towel — never rub.
- Follow with a natural moisturiser, such as The Wild Nettle Co’s Eczema Balm, to lock in hydration and protect the skin barrier.
Use the soap daily, especially on areas prone to eczema like elbows, knees, and arms.
